Biography

Ismayil Atmaca is a Toronto-based street photographer and visual artist redefining photography through experimental techniques. His work blends black-and-white street photography with unconventional presentations, bridging tradition and innovation.His Phucktography concept pushes boundaries by integrating mixed media and physical manipulation.

 

Central to this approach, the Glitch Series deconstructs traditional photography by merging archival prints with wooden compositions, creating a fragmented, sculptural effect. He also incorporates burned paper, charcoal, and pastels, merging photography with raw, tactile materials.

​

I. Atmaca has exhibited at The Other Art Fair in Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, and New York City, and held a solo exhibition at Assembly Hall Gallery by the City of Toronto in 2024. Most recently, he completed The Artist Project 2025, continuing his mission to challenge how photography is experienced beyond the frame.
